"PUPPETS"

By Louise Ferry
"WHAT A MISSION WE HAVE!" ~~ Puppets~~Sparks the lion, Speedy the mouse



LION: Gr-r-r-r

MOUSE: What's the matter with you? Did you get up on the wrong side of the cave this morning?

LION: No, it's just that my back hurts. It must be from sleeping in that damp cave.

MOUSE: Oh-h-h. It's not nice to cuss.

LION: Look, mouse, I said, damp - d-a-m-p

MOUSE: Sorry. You must enunciate better. Finish your words.

LION: So now you're an English teacher.

MOUSE: No, but we have some people who have come over to our land who are teachers and doctors and nurses and carpenters and farmers and lots of other things. Some of them are even preachers and they are telling everyone about Jesus. They are here on a mission trip.

LION: Why would anyone want to leave all the comforts of home and come here where we have so little and comforts are few?

MOUSE: I heard one of them say they were called to this work. I don't know exactly what that means. Maybe they got a telephone call from God.

LION: Yeah, right. You have some imagination there, mouse.

MOUSE: Well, it's not my imagination that you are supposed to be afraid of me and here we are talking together like old friends. How do you explain that?

LION: Well, gee. I never really thought about it. Maybe this is one of those miracles that the preacher guy talks about. Anyway, let's listen to Chris Martin and hear what she has to say about missions.

MOUSE: Okay, se you around sometime soon.

LION: So long, mouse, old friend.
